And it's a growing..

Well, we are up to 16 weeks on Thursday, and the weeks just seem to be flying by! During the first trimester I felt like every day was crawling due to the constant nausea but now I have been feeling great with a lot more energy, making it all much more enjoyable!!

We had our second doctor's appointment last week. It was just a check up with not a whole lot done except question/answers and checking the heartbeat. Everything seems to be going smoothly and the doctor officially labelled us as a low risk pregnancy. :) For all of those of you thinking it may be a girl this may get you scratching your head a bit. The heartbeat this time around was 144, much lower than the original 186. Both numbers are completely normal but the doctor did mention that no matter the number it is still a 50/50 chance so we will just have to wait and see. Our next appointment is the first Wednesday in Jan and our big ultrasound (where we will find out the sex!) will be about two weeks later. We will keep everyone updated as we know more.

Now that I have the energy to do more things, I have been doing a lot of crocheting lately, going crazy on the baby stuff. Here are a few photos of what I have started and some I have finished.

I'm not quite done with the blanket yet but once we find out a boy/girl I am
going to add in either blue or pink.

Barb had a ton of yarn so I decided to make this blanket and hat.
It's definitely more girly so we will see.

What's funny is this hat was suppose to be for Ben
but the pattern I was using lead me to a hat
that was only big enough for a newborn.
 So if we have a boy, this will be perfect :)

I am also working on baby socks, and hats for Spencer and Mason. They will be for Christmas but maybe I will give a sneak peek of them after they are both done. Hint- the boys each have a favorite character right now. I will be sure to get pictures at Christmas. 

So 16 weeks and counting... For those of you who haven't seen me lately, the baby belly is really starting to pop. Before this it looked like I just had a food baby but now it definitely looking more real baby. Here are some updated pictures. 

Ben and I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We are very thankful for a healthy pregnancy, wonderful family and the ability to share the holidays with all the ones we love.
